Pork and Chicken Adobo is a version of Filipino adobo using the combination of chicken and pork. Adobo is considered as the signature dish of the Philippines. Almost all meat, seafood, and vegetables can be cooked using the inadobo method.
This dish is like making both Chicken Adobo and Pork Adobo in one pot. Note that I combined both ingredients immediately and cooked each at the same time. You may also cook the pork first until it gets tender before adding the chicken. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked just right.
This dish is best prepared for either lunch or dinner. There are times when I have this for breakfast along with rice and 2 pieces of boiled eggs.
I think that adobo can be enjoyed anytime of the year. However, this is always best to have during outings or excursions during summertime. We all know that aside from being delicious, adobo does not spoil easily. You can keep it for a few days without refrigerating. This makes it an ideal “baon” .
This recipe suggest the use of pork belly. You can also use pork shoulder. Sometimes I also use chopped pork ribs. Feel free to modify the recipe based on your preference.

Mmmmm yummy. My family loves this recipe. I’m a Filipina from Mindanao married to an Irish man. We have 2 kids(11&6) living in Ireland nearly 15years. I normally make pork adobo and they have always loved it…this recipe though just brought adobo to a yummier level. I’m making it again today. Thank you Vanjo.

What if I don’t have oyster sauce? Can I sub it with somthing, like brown sugar?
Vanjo Merano says
You can omit the oyster sauce. adding a bit of brown sugar is a good idea. Although it is not an alternative ingredient.
Catherine Maseda says

Tried this recipe. My husband is American and I’m Filipina. He says this is the best adobo I have ever made. Our daughter brought half of the pot to her apartment in UCSB. She shared with room mates who have never had adobo. They all loved it! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I added banana blossoms but used all your ingredients. I’ve finally found my perfect chicken and pork adobo recipe!

What is the reason for adding the vinegar last? In the other recipes that I’ve seen, the vinegar is added with the soy sauce.
